Red Hat and Microsoft have expanded their partnership to help public sector clients adopt Microsoft’s cloud computing technology through their existing open-source Red Hat software subscriptions.

Paul Smith, senior vice president and general manager of Red Hat’s public sector business, wrote in a blog entry posted Friday the company’s Cloud Access program now allows clients to migrate their subscriptions to Azure and Azure Government.

Azure Government has been certified as compliant with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, the Defense Department‘s information impact-level 4 standard and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, according to a blog article written byKarina Homme, principal program manager and product market lead for Microsoft’s Azure Government.

Red Hat will hold its DevNation Federal forum in Washington on July 28 to discuss how open-source platforms can help transform agencies’ information technology operations.
